Konveyor
What it is
Konveyor is a free, open-source project for developers and platform teams modernizing legacy applications for Kubernetes and cloud-native environments. Its Hub offers a web console for organizing application landscapes, reviewing analyses, and managing migration plans. Kantra, the command-line tool, performs static analysis for Go, .Net, Node.js, and Java and can produce Kubernetes assets. Teams can assess modernization suitability and risks through a questionnaire, then use reports to inform an adoption plan. The analysis module checks source code or binaries and dependencies against built-in or custom rules, reporting issues and effort estimates. Konveyor documents connections to Git and Subversion repositories and Maven binary repositories. Its AI tools use analysis context and configurable LLM providers to suggest resolutions; the Visual Studio Code extension can apply LLM-driven changes to Java applications. The project offers more than 2,400 Java analysis rules and supports custom rules. It is self-hosted on Kubernetes, with discovery and assessment, dependency mapping, and database migration listed among its capabilities.
